Felony Murder And The Misdemeanor Of Attempted Escape: A Legislative Error In Search Of Correction, Peter J. Mcquillan

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article argues that a legislative reconsideration of the New York felony murder doctrine is timely and essential.

The author argues that the felony murder doctrine contravenes the modern philosophy of adjudication based on subjective factors such as mens rea, eroding the link between criminal liability and moral culpability.

The Inadequate Police Protection Of Battered Wives: Can A City And Its Police Be Held Liable Under The Equal Protection Clause?, Jeffrey A. Shapiro Jan 1986

The Inadequate Police Protection Of Battered Wives: Can A City And Its Police Be Held Liable Under The Equal Protection Clause?, Jeffrey A. Shapiro

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The police strive to settle the vast majority of wife battering cases without arrest or through mediation, often leading to terrible results for the abused wife. This Note supports holding a city and its police liable under the equal protection clause for the inadequate police protection of battered wives. The Note finds the best legal strategy under the equal protection clause would involve showing impermissible gender-based discrimination.

Victim, Offender, And Situational Characteristics Of Violent Crime, Deborah W. Denno Jan 1986

Victim, Offender, And Situational Characteristics Of Violent Crime, Deborah W. Denno

Faculty Scholarship

The examination of offenses rather than offenders in past research often overlooked the importance of offender characteristics and background. Indeed, a growing body of research suggests that the biological or psychological characteristics of offenders may strongly influence the outcome of particular encounters or future offense behavior. For instance, offenders with poor verbal ability or low school achievement scores may be more prone to repeat confrontational violence, irrespective of the characteristics of the victim or the situation of the offense. Thus, it is important to distinguish between those offenders with short or repeat offense histories, and those offenses which do or …

A Case For Increased Disclosure, Deborah Abramovsky Jan 1985

A Case For Increased Disclosure, Deborah Abramovsky

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The confidentiality rule is important but not absolute. An attorney must weigh his obligations to his client against his obligations to the profession and to the community as a whole. Reasonable certainty of the existence of potential danger should create a duty to reveal client secrets, and thus, when an attorney learns of an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm to a third party from his client, disclosure should be mandatory. This type of limited exception would not interfere with the client's constitutional rights or with the orderly administration of justice. The policy behind such an exception, i.e. …


The Confidentiality Rule: A Philosophical Perspective With Reference To Jewish Law And Ethics, Gordon Tucker Jan 1985

The Confidentiality Rule: A Philosophical Perspective With Reference To Jewish Law And Ethics, Gordon Tucker

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Analyzing Rule 1.6 of the Model Rules from a Jewish perspective can help solve some of the conflicts, which have arisen around this particular rule of professional responsibility. In sum, when a lawyer is faced with a potential crime that will likely seriously injury life, limb, or property, an attorney should disclose the information, which he believes will prevent this crime from occurring. While some sources of the confidentiality rule stem from the American legal system, others stem from more general ethical principles. Three such sources of the rule are: the attorney-client contract, the constitutional guarantees stemming from the Fifth …
